OPERATING THE MONITOR
The monitor has two modes of operation referred to as the RUN mode and the PROGRAM mode. Both the RUN mode and the
PROGRAM mode display screen enunciators confirm the state of the monitor. A quick glance at the lower left-hand corner of
the LCD screen will confirm operating status. Normal operation will be in the RUN mode. To access the PROGRAM mode, press
MENU until the first programming screen is displayed. After programming the display with the necessary information, a lock
out feature can be turned on to prevent unauthorized access or changing the meter’s setup parameters.

If your monitor was ordered with a Blancett flow meter, the two components ship from the factory calibrated as a set. If the
monitor is a replacement, the turbine’s K factor has changed or the monitor is being used with some other pulse generating
device, programming will be necessary.
PROGRAMMING USING A PULSE OUTPUT TURBINE FLOW METER
Each turbine flow meter is shipped with either a K factor value or frequency data. If frequency data is provided, the data must
be converted to a K factor before programming the monitor. K factor information, when supplied, can usually be found on the
neck of the flow meter or stamped on the flow meter body. The K factor represents the number of pulses per unit of volume.
The K factor will be needed to program the monitor readout.
Enter Programming Mode
Change to PROGRAM mode by pressing MENU. The mode indicator will change from RUN to PROGRAM.
OTE:N If any input value exceeds the meter’s capabilities for that particular parameter, the LIMIT indicator will begin to flash
